Osteoarthritis symptoms - Symptoms include stiffness in a joint after getting out of bed or sitting for a long time, swelling in one or more joints, a crunching feeling or cracking and creaking sounds as the bones rubs on each other, the muscles around the joints may get weaker and joints can start to deform. A hot feeling or skin that turns red probably does not mean osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is diagnosed using x-rays. The cartilage appears as a black space between bones in x-rays and with osteoarthritis the space is diminished. There also may be Bone spurs. Once damaged, a joint cannot be fully repaired, but doctors may perform joint replacement surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging provides high-resolution computerized images of internal body tissues and may be used to help diagnose osteoarthritis. ...Essies Tea Testimonials...
